Tottenham fans all notice the same thing about Luka Vuskovic after his first training session
Tottenham Hotspur players returned for pre-season training on Saturday as the Thomas Frank era commences.
Luka Vuskovic made his first appearance at Hotspur Way for training almost two years on from his transfer to the North London club.
Tottenham paid £12m to sign Vuskovic back in the summer of 2023, beating off competition from Manchester City to land his signature.
The defender has already made quite an impression at the Spurs training centre following his first session with the first-team squad.
Tottenham fans stunned by Luka Vuskovic’s stature
Tottenham Hotspur fans have been left stunned by the stature of Vuskovic, who stands at six feet three despite only being 18 years old.
Thomas Frank will assess Vuskovic over the next month or so before deciding whether to keep him in the squad for next season or to loan him out.
Vuskovic finally became a Tottenham player last Tuesday, having been made to wait almost two years to be allowed to join the Lilywhites.
Tottenham believe Vuskovic is a ‘top talent’ after what was a very successful loan spell in the Belgian Pro League with Westerlo.
The defender’s stature allows him to be quite a threat from set pieces, so it’s no wonder that he managed to score seven times last term for the Belgian club.
He also already has an impressive amount of experience despite his age, having made 67 senior club appearances and earned his Croatian national team debut.
After seeing him for the first time in Tottenham gear, Spurs fans have taken to X to share their thoughts on their latest arrival at Hotspur Way.
One fan said: “I knew he was tall, but his head is literally hitting the ceiling!”
Another supporter was stunned by his height, stating: “Wow! He is super tall!”
There was further shock at his size: “What have they been feeding him? He’s huge.”
Finally, another fan added: “18-year-old beast, great to see him wearing one badge at last!”
Thomas Frank will love Luka Vuskovic
Thomas Frank could actually love Vuskovic, as the defender has shown what a threat he can be from set pieces.
Only three players won more aerial duels than the Tottenham loanee in the Belgian Pro League last season, as he completed 110 with a 72.4 percent success rate, according to .
Set pieces are a key aspect of a Frank team as Brentford netted 13 times from these situations last season, which was 20 per cent of their goals. Meanwhile, they conceded on just two occasions.
Tottenham have appointed Andreas Georgson, who was a former set-piece coach at Arsenal, and he could help the team to dramatically improve in this aspect.
Then, adding a player like Vuskovic to the mix will only further improve the Lilywhites’ ability from set pieces.
